LOST LOVE..................

LOST LOVE......... 
Bye. I'll miss you," was what I said when she was getting on train.  For the next five minutes, I watched my best friend ever since kindergarten   leaving.
Twelve hours later, I got my first phone call from her since she's been in Hyderabad.
"How do you like it so far?" I asked.
"I don't. It's away from all of you guys," she replied.
Well I hope that I don't lose you as a friend. Promise me that, it doesn't change our friendship," I told her.
"I promise," as she agreed.
We talked a while longer talking about our past.
For the next month, she kept her promise calling me every day. But one day I called her and she sounded busy. There was loud music playing in the background, and girls laughing.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"I'm at a party," she said as she laughed.
"You have friends?" I said.
"Yeah I do. Can I call you after the party?" she asked. She hung up the phone before I had the chance to say anything. I threw my phone on my bed and I followed it. In no time, I fell asleep.
A bad dream woke me up. I looked at the clock and it was 2:22 AM. I checked my phone to see if she called since I'm a very heavy sleeper. No missed call, no text message. It was 4:22 AM over there. I know she would call me because she said so. I waited… and fell asleep
I woke up that morning pretty late. I wasn't feeling good so I slept in. When I did wake up, I called her to check up on her.  Her side of the line was dead silence.
"Sorry I didn't call back after the party," was the first thing she said when she answered.
"It's okay," I started. "When did you get home anyways?"
"Around one," she replied.
I just nodded but it wasn't like she could see me. she knew me well enough though. she should know I wouldn't say anything.
"But I'm kind of sleeping right now. Can I call you when I wake up?" she said nicely.
I really didn't want to hang up. I wanted to talk to her and learn about her new friends and the party last night. I just hung up on her when I heard silence.
An hour passed and no phone call. The whole day, no phone call.
Before I went to sleep that night, I wanted to call her but I changed my mind. I did my chores instead.
That whole week, I had work. I had no time to myself. she even called once but I didn't feel like answering. I managed to do it all in that week, and it was finally the weekend. I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. I decided to call her. One ring, then two, then three-after that, I knew that she wouldn't answer so I hung up on the fifth ring. I called again just in case it didn't go through. Again, she didn't answer. I just went to sleep.

My heart jumped as I heard my phone ringing. I looked at the name and it was her name. I answered it expecting it to be her but it was her uncle instead.,  "
     Her family got into an accident, she didn't make it."
I broke down and he hung up.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
                 Two days later I went to the funeral…… I got up and went to the coffin. I looked in and her face was so pale. Her lips were blue and her beautiful face covered with cuts and bruises.  I am unable to stop the tears rolling down my face.
The funeral was over and they carried the coffin away. Before they closed it, I noticed something around her neck. It was the necklace made out of paperclips I gave to her in kindergarten………………….

MY FIRST WALL JUMP..........


         MY first wall jump….
     I spent more than 80% of my life in hostels. Hostel life is awesome…….in some ways. My most memorable hostel days were my school days.  So many mischievous things happened which were the memorabilia of my life. One of the incidents was……
        Those were busy days with mugging to put pseud in our tenth board exams. Our seniors used to go for movies in the night without permission. That day somehow got the wane interest of watching a movie.
       The time was 8:00 pm in the night. There were five seniors coming with me. That was my first outing without permission. I was excited and tensed as well. We went to backside of our hostels. There was a 6ft wall and beside that there were two bags of sand which makes the jump easy. When i jumped the wall it felt like one milestone was achieved and some more to go.  Our school was in the middle of sugarcane, coconut and paddy fields.   We have to walk through fields about 2km to get to the main road.
      We came across a sugarcane field. I was afraid of snakes a lot because I shared some near death experiences with them. My   seniors were walking peacefully but, due to my snake phobia I am literally hopping behind them. They ignored me and talking about some exasperate topic. I saw an excruciating and thought that was snake and cried out loud. They got tensed and asked me what happened. I said snake. They looked at each other and laughed and one senior went and plucked that plant and showed me. One senior blabbered that go back to hostel we can’t carry out with you.  I was pretty scared and ready to go back and asked someone to come back with me. Nobody was willing so they asked me to continue.  This time one senior was beside me emboldening. We saw the main road it gave a sigh of relief for me. The theater was 7 km from there. We crushed ourselves in a share auto and in a couple of minutes we reached the theater.
           Movie was almost started we went in. That Theater was the most beautiful one in that area which has natural AC and a separate home for each and every mouse under every seat and smell which will come when me mix hundreds of perfumes.  Movie was starred by Nagurjuna and shriya saran an epic excruciating sentimentum in it. I got bored and thinking about consequences if I got caught. After two and half hours movie was finished and we came out time was 12 ‘O’ clock.
         There was not even a single vehicle, so all of us decided to walk 7km. what a pain to walk 7km. But I was a bit athletic those days so I thought it was not a big deal. We walked peacefully all the way with some mischievous things like scared the shit out of some dogs by chasing them and plucking sugarcane from the fields and chased by the farm keeper. In the return journey I felt a bit confident. Not afraid and thinking that I did some memorable thing. When we came to school time was two in the morning. I peacefully slept thinking about it.
        In the morning I came to know that I was almost got caught but house leader skipped my name entirely while taking roll call so that our warden wouldn’t recognize.
           Any way what a wonderful exalting experience …………..

Play of words........


   He told me that, he loves my sister”   
 
 Now add ‘only’ in the sentence after every word consecutively.

 Only he told me that, he loves my sister.

 He only told me that, he loves my sister.

 He told only me that, he loves my sister.

 He told me only that, he loves my sister.

 He told me that, only he loves my sister.

 He told me that, he only loves my sister.

 He told me that, he loves my only sister.

 He told me that, he loves my sister only.

  Every sentence has its own meaning but we usually use the last sentence……..
